Code of Conduct, Zero Alcohol, Zero Punching, No swearing, abuse or dissention, Social media policy and
smoking
Code of Conduct - When signing rego form ensure your players read the fine print on the back as you are
agreeing to abide by the rules of Oztag. Any incident that occurs and is reported, the competition committee or
judiciary will deal with this pending its severity & will follow through with disciplinary action. Penalties for
players not being sportsmanlike or having no regard for the rules of the game are severe and players should be
familiar with these guidelines. Referees will firstly warn, penalise then sin bin or send off, depending on the
severity of the offence. This also includes spectators - they will be asked to leave the grounds should they be
displaying any sort of unacceptable behaviour.
Zero Alcohol Tolerance - At either the Referee or competition organisers’ discretion, should they feel a player is
causing dangerous play or unsportsmanlike behaviour during a game, they may be asked to leave the field of
play. Under no circumstances should any player be involved in any game of Oztag under the influence of alcohol.
Zero Punch Tolerance – Tamworth Oztags’ competition convenor is now be sending a strong message & setting
a precedent by enforcing a possible automatic 12 month suspension (or for as long as they see fit) for any player
found to have thrown a punch (including 3rd man in). Registration money will NOT be refunded if a player is
suspended or ejected from the competition. If any of a player’s suspension occurs during washout weeks &
those games are replayed in Washout Allowances, the player MUST still sit those games out regardless of
whether it be weeks later.
No swearing, abuse or dissention to the opposition, your own players or the Referee!
Send off – Incurs an automatic 2 week + suspension pending severity.
*Note: Weeks given includes all grades the player participates in hence you are letting down all teams !
(eg: 2 week suspension & playing 1 night – lose 2 games, 2 nights - lose 4 games, 3 nights – lose 6 games.)
Any player sin binned twice during a season receives an automatic 2 week suspension. Also, any player sent off
twice within a season will be given notice in writing that their suspension will be doubled. Upon their return,
should they be sent off again, it will be doubled again and so on. Only after a 2 year period of no more incidents,
will they start with a clean slate. The initial penalty given will be subject to the severity of the incident or
whether or not it goes to Judiciary. Judiciary guidelines have been created over the past few years, and these are
still used and are permanently on the Notice Board.
Social Media Policy –
Please take the time to familiarise yourself with this document!
http://www.oztag.com.au/sites/oztag/files/files/Social_Media_Policy_220413.pdf
No Smoking
Smoking is now banned in spectator areas at public sports grounds and other recreational areas in NSW when an
organised sporting event is being held.
Major sporting facilities are included under the definition of a public sportsground and are required to comply
with the law. Other outdoor sporting facilities, such as Local Council playing fields, are also covered by the Law.

AOSA membership activation process - Information flyer
flye
Player activation
From the 2014 Winter season, Australian Oztag Sports Association's ("AOSA") individual registration
membership has gone online. When players register with their local Association for each new season,
they are now required to manage their AOSA membership online. There is no fee associated with AOSA
membership. At the beginning of each competition they play in, players will need to login and activate
their AOSA membership. Players will
will not be considered a "registered" player until their membership has
been activated. Failure to activate will affect a player's representative eligibility and insurance cover.
Activation is easy and takes less than a minute. Please click on the "Activati
"Activation" icon below to get
started.
Individual registration numbers must be placed on your team registration sheet along with all other
required information.. Failure to do so will mean this player is not a current registered oztag player,
hence not covered by insurance or able to continue to play
ay until this is done. If you have lost or are
unsure of your number, you can just ask at the administration area.

c.
Fees Due
Deposit of $500.00 (which is 5 players @ $100.00) is due by delegates meeting. The balance of the fees
for the entire minimum 10 players must be paid prior to Round 1 game of competition i.e. the week
commencing 3rd November, 2014 regardless of the reason and will find themselves losing -3 points for
a forfeit. Players over minimum 10 must be paid by Round 2 i.e. the week commencing 10th November,
2014) or as they join up until & including Round 6 (week commencing 8th December - player cutoff).
Note: If any team has not paid by the due date, they can be removed from the competition and replaced
by teams that may be on a waiting list.
d.
Refund/transfer/reduction of fee
After Rnd 1 (week of 12th May) of competition under no circumstances will a refund be issued for any
reason. It is important to note that the Nomination fee of $100 is non-transferable from one player to
another. The only exception to this is being able to transfer to another team in the first couple of weeks
if unhappy. This is at the sole discretion of the Competition Organiser. Any player joining the
competition at any stage must incur the $100 fee and organize an Individual Player number (explained
on Page 4) if never played Oztag. However from Rnd 9, a reduced fee of $40 applies if you are replacing
a registered player who is unable to return for the remainder of the season. Only exception to the rule
is if a player registers with a team during the 1st 2 or 3 weeks (Rnd 0-2), but is then unable to play for
various reasons, a new player can take over their registration only at the approval of competition
organiser, but this must be done prior to Rnd 6 cut off. Remember this can only be done if the player
dropping out has only signed on & played 1 or 2 rounds, at the discretion of the competition organiser.
e.
All players to be registered/adding new players
After Rnd 1 of competition, all players must have completed their registration form and must sign on
each night of competition. After Rnd 6, this form cannot be added to or changed. Checks are done and
if players are found not to have completed the Rego form then they will not be permitted to play; both
this registration sheet and sign on sheet MUST correspond with each other. In the committee’s opinion,
if a player is found not to be on the rego sheet regardless of fees paid, they will have to pay again. It is
the delegate’s responsibility for each team to ensure that all players meet the requirements. The only
time you can add to a team is through approval of the competition organiser and only for reasons of
permanent injury or pregnancy.
Players in multiple teams
No player can play in 2 teams within the same grade but they are able to play in maximum 2 teams (on
the one night) if those teams are in separate grades. Be aware that you MUST pay twice and games
could clash in same timeslot so you could end up letting one team down. You cannot sign on for both
teams if playing in the same timeslot unless you have played part of the game with both. If caught doing
this, you may be suspended for a period at the discretion of the competition organiser or competition
committee. Due to the increasing numbers of players doubling up, it is the players’ responsibility to
inform the competition convenor if a grade change causes them to end up in same grade. They will then
be refunded a portion of their registration of the team they choose to pull out of.
Quality of player
Also under no circumstances will representative or A grade quality players be permitted to be added to
a lower grade team if they don’t commence the season (hence initial Rnd 0) with that team. This is
deemed to be unfair to the lower grade teams and the grading process. A grade/Rep players will be
determined by the competition committee on an individual basis depending on age, quality and length
of time since playing Rep. Impossible to put a general rule in place for all these reasons. So too,
replacing injured players in a latter part of the season, unless the replacement player is determined by
the competition committee to be of a similar standard. This decision by the committee is final and
f.
g.

h.

j.
cannot be appealed against. Any change in players MUST be brought to Pam’s attention in order to
change the rego sheet.
Individual Team Sponsorship
All teams relying on sponsorship, our advice to you, is to organise for your players to pay the fees, as we
don’t wait on sponsorship cheques. When the cheque arrives, we will refund the money already given.
All payments are due in full by the above date, unless your team gets a Bye or we are washed out, then
they are given an extra week. If teams have a sponsor, you must subtract the amount given by the
sponsors from the individual’s payment and then the players pay the balance. Your delegate is
responsible for this and it is the delegate’s responsibility to collect these fees from the players. We do
not want the payment in dribs and drabs; it must be paid in lump sums. We are not the delegates for
each team, rather the managers for the competition. Sponsors are able to claim 1/11th of amount
given to teams as a tax deduction. Teams who have sponsors and require a tax invoice will be
provided with one upon request.
Tamworth Oztag Sponsorship
Sponsored Keycards on website NAB sponsorship – Please check out NAB tab on website to explain benefits they provide.
GJ Gardiner Homes – Golf buggy (Please refer to the sponsorship tab for further sponsorship details).
The Pub Group – Referees sponsorship
Uniform requirements/cost of shorts
Shorts must be purchased from the Oztag Association as the sport is patented. Players found guilty of
wearing own design of shorts will be open to legal action. Cost of shorts is $25 per pair for seniors, $40
for rep club shorts (GST Included). Tights are $30 per pair or new style $40. No belt straps to be worn
any more unless shorts have been ripped during play. Players must purchase shorts or borrow them in
exchange for keys/mobile etc. PLEASE NOTE: If tags are not sticking to your shorts, it is likely that the
Velcro on your shorts needs changing as tags are relatively new.
After round 5 of competition (week commencing 1st December), ALL players must be uniformed, i.e. the
same team shirts, with numbers on either the back or sleeves of the shirts. Teams failing to have this
done will forfeit their match. In the event of a player not wearing a team shirt after round 5 of the
competition, this player IS NOT permitted to play under ANY circumstances. This rule also includes no
players to change shirts on sideline to allow another to play. Remembering that it takes 5 players to
start an Oztag match, if you don’t have the five players in uniform, then your team forfeits the match. In
the case of mixed, no more than the maximum 4 guys can play (must have at least one girl). Your team is
given 5 minutes to get started, the Ref is in control of this time & their decision is final. It is at the sole
discretion of the competition organisers to allow 1-3 players only to wear a shirt of similar style and
colour. This problem has been recognised due to carrying over of shirts from one comp’ to the next and
either losing, ripping them or old players not returning them. Screen printing isn’t such an issue, but
they MUST have a number. A taped number is allowed but must be displayed clearly and must be the
number they intend to play in throughout the Comp.
Complaints regarding the shirts, (by the opposing team), MUST be brought to the organiser’s attention
PRIOR to the commencement of the game, NOT on the Final result.
EXPLAIN Spare Shirts at Admin area for use and players to get a stamp to show their referee to prove
their attendance to Admin.

7.
Insurance/Ambulance Cover
Insurance: Insurance Top up Cover per team. Updated information is displayed on all registration forms on the
reverse side, which WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ!! Sportscover Insurance is the insurer and their contact
number is 1300 134 956. It is mainly set up for major injuries, accidents or death and permanent disablement.
All injuries MUST be reported to Oztag organisers on the night or within 24 hours of the injury.
Jock Steir – to discuss personal insurance cover – 0419 977284 or 67669655. If any players do not have income
protection insurance and wish to attain cover in the event of a sporting injury, contact Jock.
Ambulance cover - This is not covered under Oztag Insurance. We encourage all players to obtain cover
because if an ambulance is called, cost is approximately $700. Before an ambulance is called, the player will be
asked for their permission to do so, unless the Competition Convenor deems the injury serious or life
threatening and an ambulance will be called at their discretion, keeping the safety of the player a priority. The
approximate costs - NIB Single - $50.00 per year, Family $90.00 per year!
8.
Pregnant/injured players
It is the pregnant player’s choice to continue participating in our Oztag competition. If a player playing in more
than 1 division falls pregnant and replaces themselves in one division but chooses to complete the rest of the
season in another, this is allowed but the competition organises MUST be given a letter indemnifying ourselves,
Tamworth Oztag, Aust. Oztag Sports Association and any other players that are involved in the games they play
in, OR provide us with a medical certificate stating they are fit to continue playing.
Only pregnant players can be replaced at no extra cost. Another case may be transfer of work, at the sole
discretion of the Competition Organisers. Pregnant, injured or replaced player are still eligible for prizes at end
of season, but prizes will only be given for the amount of players paid for.
9.
Grading
a.
Teams going up grades
Keep in mind that teams who win a division in the previous season will be automatically put up a grade and
depending on the closeness of the Grand Final, so may their opponents. Not always will we leave them there,
depending on their results of grading games and new players who come and go. This will be at the discretion of
the competition committee and decisions are made fairly.
b.
Grading/points
On completion of grading, teams no longer move up or down with the points they had accumulated in those first
few rounds. They move with an average of total points, so they end up in a fairer position in their new grade. It
is the average between a maximum number of wins or a maximum number of losses E.g. 1: After 3 rnds – A
team has 3 Wins = 9pts as against a possible 3 losses = 3pts & committee decides to move them up a grade, they
go with 6pts only. E.g. 2: After 4 rnds – A team has 4 Losses = 4pts and with a possible 4 wins = 12pts, this team
would get moved down with an average of 8pts. EXPLAIN new position in grade above or below depending on
where they got put.
10.
Commencement of Play
2 Hooters - 1st one warning, 2nd one clock starts.
It takes 5 players to start an Oztag match. In the case of mixed, no more than the maximum 4 guys can play
(must have at least one girl). Your team is given 5 minutes to get started then you forfeit. The Ref is in control of
this time and their decision is final. There is no injury time allowed during the course of competition.
No ring-in players. Teams caught playing UNREGISTERED players receive -3pts!
8
11.
Forfeits/Byes
In the event of forfeits, any team who forfeits 3 times in total are removed from the competition, with NO
refund of fee’s paid. The team involved will receive a warning notification after two weeks and then upon the
third, are out. This rule has been put in place for the courtesy of all other paying teams. However, with the rule
of “forfeit notification”, if unforeseen circumstances apply with the team and they make every effort to notify
the competition organisers, then this rule may be flexible at the sole discretion of the competition organisers.
Their decision is final. Teams who do forfeit, if they notify the competition organiser in person 3 hours prior to
their game, will not lose 3 points but rather will receive 0 points that night with the opposition receiving 3 points
for the win. Points for and against will also be NIL. Outside the 3 hours personal notification, the team will lose 3
points. In addition, a no show forfeit will incur the same result. Points for and against will be 0 for, and minus 5
against in all cases. Teams who do forfeit: only those who attend the night’s game of forfeit and sign on, qualify
for the match. All other players don’t qualify for that match and it won’t count toward any qualifying matches
for the semi finals or final. Any players who have a washout match or are in receipt of a forfeit qualify for that
match regardless if they turn up or not.
We try not to have byes in any grades, but depending on quality AND number of teams nominated, this may
change at any stage due to competition organiser’s discretion. In the situation of any teams getting 2 byes and
others only getting 1, be aware that draws are selected at random by the computer. It is extremely hard to avoid
this happening. Grading is usually completed by no later than Round 3 or 4 but subject to change at any time.
12.
Qualification/Signing On/Disqualification
Players must now have played four (4) games only during competition to qualify for finals. In the event of a
player only playing four games, two of those have to be in the last four rounds of the competition to qualify for
the finals. Players must sign the sign on sheet each night of competition prior to each match. These are left out
until after half time, so no excuses for not signing on. DNQ next to a player’s name, come Finals sign on, means
DID NOT QUALIFY! EXCEPTION TO RULE AT COMMITTEES DISCRETION - If you are only 1 or 2 games shy of
qualifying due to an injury or work related reason, which hasn’t allowed you to play, you may place it in writing
to the committee to discuss the circumstances and your eligibility to continue to play finals. Decision is final !!
For any games that a player does not sign on, not only are they NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE but they are no
longer eligible to receive best and fairest points.
13.
Draws/draws not handed out
Draws are no longer handed out due to changes that can be made to divisions at any time throughout the
competition. Go to Oztag website http://www.tamworthoztag.com or contact Pam for your playing times.
14.
Wet weather procedure
Teams can call us after 4.30pm for final decision from groundsmen on mobile 0417 650 776 and will be
announced between 4.30-5.30pm on the day of rain, over 92.9FM ONLY. We will also endeavour to have an
announcement on our answering machine on 6762 0843 or check the new website
http://www.tamworthoztag.com if decision had been made earlier or our Facebook page. Following an
exceptionally wet winter comp 2010, we must advise that we will always attempt to have most washouts caught
up but this will be done so at the discretion of the competition organiser. Either: a) at the end of the
competition, b) doubled up 30min games on the nights you already play, or c) alternatively a Sunday of catch up
matches pending how desperate we are. Of course, this depends on ground availability and council approval as
9
they require time between seasons to renovate grounds. There’s absolutely no refunds in this case as we do our
best to have them caught up and the weather is beyond our control.
15.
Pinboard
This is always near the admin area or sign on stand, so please check each week for important information and
coming events, draws, insurance information, maps of grounds, weekly Oztag reports and these Delegates
notes. It is the player’s responsibility to read this board at all times for any updated information.
16.
Rules of Semi-final, final and grand final
Selection of teams/forfeit
For semi-finals – It is a 4 team semi in all grades with the exception of 12 + teams in a division, we will take
through the top 6 teams.
Where we have only 2 teams of A grade quality in any grade playing in a combined division for the season, they
will play off in a best of 3 State of Origin series when split come finals time. In the case of a team winning the
first 2 games and they choose not to play the 3rd game for any reason, they automatically forfeit their win! The
other team takes out the premiership if the winning team does not show up for Grand Final.
In the event of Semis, Finals or Grand Finals, should a team choose to forfeit this match for any reason, given
enough notice, the team that came 3rd will automatically go in to play the other remaining team in that final. Be
aware that by forfeiting that game they also forfeit their prizes in the competition. This rule has been put in
place to avoid letting down the other teams who have worked all season to get to these all important games.
Extra time
Extra time will be played in all matches and in the case of a drawn match, 2 minutes each way. If no result,
sudden death drop off after each minute of play. In the case of mixed, a male player must drop first following
the initial minute. The 3 players to be dropped off by each team MUST be nominated to the Referee, prior to
commencement of Drop Off. There is to be no subbing of players once drop off commences and in sudden
death, first try scorer wins. Teams last in possession at all times, receive the ball. There is no injury time allowed
during the course of competition. However, at the sole discretion of the referee and competition organisers,
injury time may be taken out and played in semis, finals and grand finals depending on length of time taken up
by injury or removal of player from field and closeness of score line.
